Poor Rigs

On Tuesday night I got a panicked call from Nic. She was on her way to the ER with Rigs. Earlier in the day he had climbed onto the dollhouse to swing on the closet rod. While swinging on the closet rod it pulled out of the wall causing Rigs to fall onto a solid wood rocking horse. Although initially he felt fine throughout the day he deteriorated and Nic started to feel uneasy and so she took him in. The ER initially was unconcerned with him and made them wait in the ER waiting area for 90 minutes. He was nauseated, throwing up, and in a lot of pain. After they got him back they did x rays and a cat scan. They found that his right kidney was lacerated almost completely in half! It was decided he needed to be ambulanced to Primary Children's. Once there they monitored him to make sure the internal bleeding was decreasing and not getting worse. He was put on strict bed rest. After a full day in Primary's he was given the ok to head home on restricted activity...I don't know what that means for a very active 4 year old but Nic will be very busy watching him continuously. On Wednesday afternoon we went to visit. We had dinner and just hung out. It was fun to visit and take Rigs some get well presents.
Kinley is obsessed with Em she loves to be everywhere she is and always wants to be playing with her. 
Its crazy how much you can love someone else's kids. I feel like I love Luke, Rigs, Lydi, and Kinley close to as much as I love my own kids. I would do anything for them. Im so glad after a couple months of restriction he should be good as new.
